Patrick Surtain II exited Sundays game with a lower leg injury, creating immediate concern for the Broncos defense and fantasy rosters relying on Denver corners. His absence could test the unit as they chase one of the league’s best defenses this season.

With Surtain as the anchor, Denver carries high defensive expectations. If he misses time, the surrounding coverage may have to adjust with more zone looks and depth chart shifts, elevating the fantasy upside of opposing pass catching weapons and nudging Broncos players into riskier matchup territory.

Michael Pittman Jr. faced Surtain when the injury occurred, a reminder that Colts receivers could exploit potential secondary gaps. The coming days will define Surtain roster implications and the broader impact on Broncos pass defense and fantasy planning.
